Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Wordpress Bookshelf/cover art plugin with Evergreen support
Hello, a recent version of wordpress (5.3) fixed an issue that made it hard to use the wordpress rest API to update bookshelves, so now it is possible to update the library bookshelves with a simple http post request. So you can run a script on one of your evergreen servers that updates any number of new book lists on wordpress sites. An example of how we use it is at https://larl.org/books-movies-more/ Currently a few changes need to be made to the plugin (as of version 4.9), I've documented the changes, and added some setup notes, and the script we use the create new lists and submit them at https://gist.github.com/stompro/ffc3ad86cf7905b111dd7508882d936d The plugin can be found at https://wordpress.org/plugins/library-bookshelves/#developers My scripts assume you are using the Evergreen (Record) mode, so the lists are in bib.record.id format. My example script also tries to check to see if cover art exists, and excludes records that don't seem to have cover art. If you use "No Coverart" placeholder images, you may need to adjust the script to detect those.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Wordpress Bookshelf/cover art plugin with Evergreen support
Hello, I just wanted to mention a wordpress plugin that we have been using with our new web site that has support for Evergreen built in. If you need to display book carousels on a wordpress site, please give it a look. We are using it on our new releases page - https://larl.org/books-movies-more/ The developer was able to quickly add Evergreen support when we enquired, and the newly released version includes the ability to specify the bookshelf items by evergreen bibid number. It also supports grabbing the coverart directly from evergreen as well as grabbing it from the various added content providers. https://wordpress.org/plugins/library-bookshelves/ This plugin currently requires that the lists of ISBNs/UPCs be entered for each list, so we just update them once a week manually. I'm trying to get the wordpress rest API working so we can push updates to the lists from our evergreen server. It doesn't support grabbing data via RSS.
